We’re rolling out some new advertising code and our test period is your gain. Through the end of July, advertising in the new inventory is 100% free to help the Instant Journalist guys who power this site’s code work out any bugs in the system.

Of course, we also want you to witness the POWER of advertising on a neighborhood blog. Once you’re hooked, we’re sure you won’t want to quit.

Create your ad today — all you need is an URL and a message. After July 31st, we’ll begin charging for the space but your ads will keep running until we’re filled with paid ads. And it gets even better — CHS will always save 10% of its inventory for local small businesses to advertise for free. Good deal.

So give it a try and what you think.
